Thanks for raising this concern. To make it clearer, we do collect the data to do processing but then we delete the conversations and the executive summaries we generate after sending them to our users.

Parent commenter is very modest to call it "nitpicky" - I don't think it is at all.

You might not _store_ the data, but you absolutely do "collect" it.

(Nitpicky would be "well... you do store it at least a little while; even if only in RAM".)

You are absolutely right. I am going to update our privacy policy to make sure it is clear to users.

Not to necro-post, but your landing page still claims you don't collect any conversations.

I pushed the changes today. Corrected content should be live now. Thanks for the note!

That diff must look hilarious..

    - we do not collect your information
    + we collect your information

I am no security eggspert but I think if you encrypt them while they are waiting on disk to be processed then decrypt them in memory only to process them anD then delete from memory and delete from disk, you will have a better claim to privacy. Also, must transport over SSL.

Thanks for the suggestion! I do some more research and explore this option. :)
